Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 81.2/100, a mean average of 79.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.2.

75/100

From Moondance 03/15/2023 21:28

A good cross section of mostly top 10 albums across the years/across the decades. Ain't nothing wrong in that, although it would be nice to see a bit more personality.

Too much in the top 100, like for example you're choosing so many of the already top albums, mix it up, use your own personal opinion, they don't have to be the ones right at the top of the charts.
